Mother's Day
I got to spend my first official Mother's Day holding this cutie while she slept. Then later, I got some alone time to read a book. Then I took a nap WITH this cutie. Not too shabby.

Odie
He has a name! It's Otis. We decided a little over a week ago, so he went what, 6 weeks without a name?! We're horrible pet owners
8.5 months recap
Ok I've not been doing a good job posting at all. My camera on my phone isn't doing a good job, so I haven't taken many pictures. Also, I've been lazy. I'm going to try to post some pictures here in a minute. Just in case I don't, I'll try to recap the last couple weeks.
I'm really mad that I didn't write it down, because now I don't remember, but very shortly after the last post Quinn started crawling. I'm thinking May 2nd (Mom's birthday!) was the day Jill told me she was crawling everywhere. I brought her home to the construction site that was our house and took her outside to try to get her to crawl, but she was too busy playing with the grass. The next day I worked until 9, and the house was still a mess, so I didn't see it that day either. The next day, Daniel had put the dining room back into the dining room so there was room, and she took off! She crawls like a crazy woman!
She still dances all the time. Turn on music, she instantly dances. Watch TV and hear a theme song, she dances. Say "Quinn, Dance" and she dances without music! It's quite possibly my new favorite thing. She also sometimes does this super cute thing. If you say "So big" and put your arms up she will sometimes put hers up too. It usually at least gets a smile out of her. In the last couple of days Daniel has gotten her to clap! She looks so darn cute. Today Jill told her to dance and she was dancing, clapping, and putting her arms up. She has all these tricks and is getting confused when to do them I guess.
She still only has 3 teeth. She has an ear infection. I take her to the chiro every week, and I think that's helped, because we made it over a month without having to take her to the doctor. She hasn't had a fever, but her ear is starting to leak. Drat those ears! I don't want to keep giving her antibiotics!
I think that's it for now. I'll go see what pictures I can find.

Update of Skills
Within the last week Quinn has started dancing. If music starts, she starts wiggling her upper body. It's adorable! I have a video that I'm trying to get Daniel to put on the comp so I can put it on here.
She also started really reaching for people. When I go to pick her up, she will put her arms up. If I am not going to pick her up but she wants me to, she puts her arms up. Adorable!
She started giggling. Not just baby laughing, but full-blown laughing. It's super sweet.
Wednesday she was extra cranky. I was playing with her getting her to laugh and noticed another tooth. She has one of her top ones, but not one of the front ones. She had only her two bottom teeth for 3 months, and it was adorable, but of course it's time to get more. She has been cranky and has a lot of other symptoms of teething, but nothing as bad as before!
She is SO close to crawling. I was at my grandma's on Thursday and put her Wubbanub a little bit away from her. She used her arms in a crawling motion and then kind of frog jumped her legs forward, moved her arms, jumped her legs forward. It got her there, and she was on all fours. Again, super cute!

Being a big girl with daddy. (No, she didn't sit here the whole meal. This was just while she waited for her seat. And seriously, how funny is that expression?

Her second story time. She seems to enjoy watching everyone, especially Jodi.
Pickles
We are doing baby-led weaning. That's pretty much where we let Quinn do it all herself. We either give her baby-sized pieces which she has mastered picking up with the pincher grasp, or we give her chunks of food that she gnaws on. No spoon-feeding anything! It gives her control over what she eats and how much she eats, and she sits there eating with us. It's supposed to help her learn portion control, lower the risk of her having sensory issues with food, stuff like that. She's the kid that always puts everything straight to her mouth, so that hasn't been a problem. She seems to like carrots, really likes Cheerios and puffs, loves anything bread-like, and apparently likes pickles a lot.
We went to Ponderosa a few nights ago. I like taking her to buffets because we can get hr all kinds of food. She threw the carrot on the floor right away, threw the bread on the floor right away, and went for an all green diet. First she munched on a cucumber until the whole inside was gone. Then she ate a green bean or two. Then we gave her the pickle. YUM!
Maybe next time I'll remember the bib!
